Paolo Cossi, Massimiliano Frezzato

The Bewitched Cat24x21 cm, hardcover, 28 pages. Age: 4-99 years.

A cat, a normal cat, actually pretty ban-ged up and mangy, got bewitched one day. However he does not complain about this spell, perhaps he’s in love, he is certainly captivated by some lovely kitten. Torn by this, he decides to ask his owner, his little witch, to become a wizard to be able to learn the craft, or at least the secret of a true love potion ...

But the little witch who heals everyone with her herbs reveals him there are no love potions, all it takes is some courage in declaring himself to his beloved.

The several publications of Paolo Cossi include: Medz Yetghern, Il grande Male (The Great Evil) (Hazard, 2007); Anarchia per erbe bollite (Anarchy for boiled herbs) (Lavieri, 2008); Un gentiluomo di fortuna (A gentleman of fortune, a Hugo Pratt’s comic book biography) (Hazard, 2009).

Since 2004 Lavieri has been designing and publishing fresh, and often funny, picture books with original illustrators. Lavieri “Piccole Pesti” is a publishing project for children and “grown-ups”, a little help to face the adventures of everyday life regardless of wizards and witches and of any escape, not just in metaphorical terms, from reality. Irony on the front line to have fun, learn and be blown away.
